One of the key things to remember in markets and trading is that things can change quickly and what was working may soon have a cyclical drawdown while strategies that are in a drawdown can present a good trading opportunity.

We sent out drawdown entry alerts for this portfolio and discussed it in the presentation on Wednesday. On May 19, the Two System Portfolio was in a 13,610 drawdown. It has been positive 5 of the 7 trading days since bouncing back by +$8,700 and is about 5K from a new equity peak as we end the month of May.
We've anticipated that the market environment would return to a mean reversion trading environment after the most one side market we have seen in years.

When we look at 2024 and 2025, the second half of the year has been consistent while the first half of 2025, other than January 2025, was also slow.
The first 4 months was challenging and a technical issue on my part resulted in a down month instead of a slightly positive month in January 2026. We compare this to the 4 month window in 2025 and what happened next.
Algorithmic diversity with portfolio trading is an important consideration to keep in mind.
